This is a gorgeous piece of antique embroidery work and skill. Due to it's age, I have not cleaned it, however, it is bright and fresh. The linen waist band has some minor staining. The original paper tag is still present and a stamp noting "made in China." I find only one flawed panel on the skirt, which has a faded mark and a dart that is probably a repaired cut, as shown in the last photo. This is conveniently hidden by the overlap of the central embroidered panel, so not seen when worn. I find no other issues to note. International bidders are responsible for any import duties and addition shipping costs.
